【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章作者在新十年开始之际进行自我改变,开始从更长远的眼光思考未来十年的目标。

1

考查非谓语动词。句意:我的目标是在运营Facebook的日常工作之外,以新的方式成长。分析句子,简单句除了提示词外已有动词was,故提示词需用非谓语动词。分析句意,此处用不定时作表语。be to do 在此处表示将要。故填to grow

2

考查时态。句意:这些促使我学习普通话。分析句子,简单句除了提示词外无其余动词。故此处需填时态。综合分析,文章的整体时态是过去时,逻辑主语和提示词lead之间表示主动关系。故填led

3

考查形容词比较级。句意:这些经历让我学会了普通话,为家里编写了一个人工智能助手,还让我读了更多的书,跑了更多的路,更适应了公开演讲。分析句子,and前面提到了“读了更多的书,跑了更多的路”。根据并列关系,此处也需用比较级。get是系动词后接形容词,又因comfortable是多音节。故填more comfortable

4

考查名词。句意:在Facebook,我们正在开发许多不同的应用程序和技术,我们正在承担更多的社会责任。分析句子,social 译为“社会的”,词性是形容词后修饰名词。需将提示词词性改为名词词性。responsibility既是可数名词也可做不可数名词。故填responsibility/ responsibilities

5

考查时态。句意:在Facebook之外,我现在是一个父亲了,我喜欢花时间和家人在一起,致力于我们的慈善事业,改进我在过去几年里培养起来的体育和爱好。分析句子,定语从句中除了提示词外无其余动词,故此处需填动词的时态。逻辑主语和动词之间表示主动关系且定语从句部分含有现在完成时的时间状语over the past +一段时间。所以此处需用现在完成时主动形式。故填have picked

6

考查冠词。句意:这个十年,我将把重点放在更长远的方面。分析句子,term此处为可数名词,表示泛指。又因longer非元音因素开头。故填a

7

考查名词性从句。句意:我试着去思考2030年的世界和我的生活将会是什么样子。分析句子,此处宾语从句部分缺宾语。根据句意,此处缺“什么”之意。what…will be like ? 译为会是什么样? 故填what

8

考查介词。句意:这样我就能确保专注于这些事情。分析句子,focus on 译为“集中于”是固定短语。故填on

9

考查副词。句意:我们将拥有技术,无论他们身在何处,我们都能真切地感受到和另一个人在一起。分析句子,提示词为形容词不可修饰动词。应用副词修饰动词。故填truly

10

考查连词。句意:科学研究将帮助治愈和预防足够多的疾病,使我们的平均预期寿命再延长2.5年。分析句意,此次的cureprevent表示并列关系。故填and

【题目】 The Swedish Academy has named Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature. It also announced that it was honoring Austrian Peter Handke with the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature. The Academy cancelled the prize last year after many members fled the organization following sexual abuse accusations linked to it.

The Academy said it awarded Tokarczuk for imaginative writing that “represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life.”

The Polish writer’s first published work came in 1989, a book of poetry called Cities in Mirrors. Her first novel, The Journey of the Book-People, was published in 1993. Last year, Tokarczuk became the first Polish writer to win Britain’s Man Booker Prize for International Literature for her novel Flights. Her novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, was on the short list of nominees for the 2019 prize as well. That prize went to another writer. Tokarczuk spoke Thursday with readers hours after she won the Nobel. “I can only write.” She said.

The Swedish Academy said it named Peter Handke winner of the 2018 prize for “influential work that with linguistic gift has explored the boundary and the specificity of human experience.” Handke’s first novel was published in 1966. He also writes plays and is a political organizer. The Austrian writer was an opponent(反对者) of NATO’s air attacks against Serbia in the Kosovo war of thelate1990s.He was a supporter of the Serbian government under the leadership of Slobodan Milosevic. He has denied that Bosnian Serb troops carried out a campaign killing of 8, 000 locals in Srebrenica during the Bosnian war in the 1990s. As a result, some critics are angry that he was given the Nobel Prize.

At home in Paris Thursday, Handke called the decision to give him the literature award “courageous.” He said the recognition gave him “a strange kind of freedom.”

【题目】阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.

I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”.

I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.

As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.
